I planted this in my balcony garden last year, and I had one plant that lasted through the winter and came back this year, and several others that came up volunteer from the seeds. I enjoy the greens as a way to add variety and flavor to a salad; I haven't stir fried them yet (but I need to). I give it five stars because I think it serves its advertised purpose well; however, some of the leaves are texturally rough ("whiskery") and others don't get very big, so they aren't so ideal for sandwiches or for lettuce wraps, which are two things I mostly use lettuce for.
